That's pretty poor...but I'll wait for the GS review. I tend to agree with GS more than IGN.

Yeah, there is some point to that approach especially after I enjoyed Red Steel. But I never saw what the fuss was all about with this Sonic, I was only going to be interested if it got star studded reviews somehow.

So your idea of a bad score includes 7's? A game that gets a 7-range score is still darn good.

You said you were expecting it to score poorly, but that you didn't think it would get below a 7(Making the connection one could assume you meant 7+ could still be bad :))....I know you probably meant otherwise, but you gotta phrase things carefully as far as I'm concerned ;) I'm just givin you a hard time =D

Maybe the next Sonic should be on DS or something with old school gameplay. Give it the same visual treatment as New SMB.

Good point.. Sonic Rush got AA despite it being very short...

I would really like a New Super Mario WORLD though.. that would be the greatest

It's not a bad review, nor is it great.  I still plan on picking it up.  It is his opinion, I respect, I want to see for myself.

I read parts of the review...it wasn't that great...he contradicts himself too much...says its the best Sonic game in 3d, gives it a 6.9...stuff like that....

Honestly, I'd go w/ gamerankings on this one...(well go w/ gamerankings on all games) but it just didnt seem like a great review from thier part

I see.. and a big reason why Sonic got bad rating on IGN was becuz at times he felt lyk tearing his hair out at parts where the control was "unresponsive"... often reviewers rate a game as bad when they suck at it (example: GS and DBZ:BT2 :lol: )

the best sonic 3d game is a 6.9, kinda how the best drakengard game is a 7.0. just because something gets 'the best ____ game' title doesnt mean its a good game

Err? he kept saying it was made by team sonic? but it wasn't.

Now I really see what that guy @ dice was going on about how the gaming media is making a mess. they cant even be bothered to fact check.

I hate the way every ones so hypocritical about voice acting. that the way sonic is meant to speak, if sonic spoke any different it wouldn't work. If sonic had never had any voice acting, they would have complained that sonic wasn't voice acted.

The music I am sorry but what music does go with sonic? It has always been Midi or cheesy rock. And if they put midi in there instead it would have been slaged off for not being modern. 

Sonic is a punk kid any on who doesn't like that style should not play a sonic game let alone review one.

On the control notes the first praises them and then the second page slags them off and as Phoenix wright would say "hold it! contradiction!" it as if the two pages where written by different people and didn't conferrer when the article was put it together. he complains about the wii-mote note being used for jumping? no thanks, a timed event should not be replace by yanking up the wii mote which is not insintive at all and would be really hard to time, the gesture based systems should never replace a button, just for the sack of the fact its a wii game.

I will leave the rest of the slag-ing to later, once I have played this game, but I smell a bad review.

Reviews always tear 3d sonic games to pieces. Probably because most of them suck but the Sonic Adventure games were really fun IMO.
